Therefore, you must replenish yourself with enough water at ordinary times, remember to remind yourself to drink more water from time to time, and never wait until you feel dry mouth to remember to drink water, because if you feel particularly thirsty, your body has usually been dehydrated for a long time.

Experts recommend that you should bathe 2 to 3 times a week. At the same time, pay attention to the choice of bath gel and try to choose bath oil that has hydrating and moisturizing effects.
